I made a mod version of a theme, and i want to upload it to Cydia, but I have no idea where to even start. I have a folder on my desktop with the plist and all the files needed for it to run right. I don't know how to zip it, or how to make the download and screenshot links. Can anybody try help out a hopeless noob like me?

In order to zip it you'll want to download a program such as winrar. Once it's been downloaded, right click on the folder you want to zip, and select the compress option. As far as giving out a link for the screenshot, all you need to do is upload to some sort of photo sharing service such as photobucket or tinypic, and get the link from there. For uploading the file itself, just upload it to some sort of file hosting service. The two easiest are mediafire or dropbox. Both are completely free. Once it's uploaded, just get the link from either sharing service. From there, you just need to submit it to modmyi or macciti.

Can you post what you're trying to modify here, like with a zip and images, and I'll take a quick peak. Everything at first glance seems to be valid.

I appreciate the quick response!

I'm actually a good deal into my theme and do not wish to reveal any content yet, so I stripped it down to the bare minimum of what my problem is.

I looked in the Endroid theme and tried to mimic the usage of the "insertview x to" but it just won't work for me. I've tried tinkering with a whole bunch of different things that I thought could be causing the issue, but still nothing but black screens.

I've caught countless numbers of my typos that tripped me up, but this one just totally slipped right by! Good eye sir!

Theme progress may now commence

No problem I actually tried to open it in plist editor for windows and it gave me the error then I went into notepad++ and found it. You should check out plist editor for windows I like it more then notepad++

Hey guys! BEen a while since getting into this thread. Any chance to get some help on putting the LAW widget into the Else Theme. I've inserted the code as instructed in the wiki, but it doesn't show up. I'm still a "tinkerer" as RL issues keep me really too busy to get too deep.

any help is appreciated. If you do not have the theme, I'll UL the plist file.

Ill definitely have to check that out, Ive been editing in Dreamweaver. The only features I really benefit from it is the ability to quickly indent a selected group of text, auto-completing a few tags, and of course find and replace.

It could be an issue with the widget 5.x changed a bunch of stuff and most widgets didn't cross over. So if you are using the widget from Endroid I don't think it will work unless your still on 4.x
Check that before you worry about the code

Well, thanks about the weather. I am running 5.0.1 (not comfy about 6 and 5.1 really doesn't give me more than I have).
I decided I want to make my home-screen more interesting. Here's a current pic:
I want to copy the animated wheels (the blue wheels are auto rotating) and make them smaller, and place them animated behind the weather area in the top left.

Glad you guys got it! Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner on it, but it's all good since it's worked out now

Its worked out very well! Solved a major problem I was having with my theme. I have (up to) 8 categories with 16 apps in each one, and just toggling the alpha wasnt enough because they were using a lot of RAM just sitting there, hidden. I could just insert/remove them, but I really want to animate them while changing categories. However, I could not use a function to insert them and to animate them at the same time. But as it turns out, I can animate 16 blank views and insert the apps into them in one button press!

I do have one other slight issue though. Im using variations to control which image is displayed in an imageview... but which I would also like to be a button. If I make that imageview a button instead, though, it crashes on startup. So, I currently have it set up that a transparent button appears above the image. My only gripe with this is that it doesn't produce that button-pressed-in effect. Any thoughts on how I might get that effect working in this scenario?
